The story of organic oolong tea is a journey between worlds—resting exactly halfway between green and black tea. Known as "Black Dragon" tea (wūlóng), its history stretches back over a millennium to the misty mountains of Fujian, China, where it was once reserved exclusively for imperial courts. The Art of the "In-Between"
: Freshly handpicked leaves are spread under the sun to release moisture and activate enzymes.
: At the precise moment the flavor profile is perfect, the master "kills the green" by heating the leaves to stop oxidation.
: Many oolongs are repeatedly rolled into tight pellets that unfurl and "bloom" when steeped, releasing flavor slowly over many infusions. Why Choose Organic?
Unlike other teas, oolong is partially oxidized (anywhere from 8% to 85%), a delicate process that requires an experienced tea master to oversee every minute.
When you buy organic oolong tea , you are supporting a commitment to the land and your own health:
: Leaves are tossed in bamboo drums to gently bruise them, breaking down cell walls to allow oxygen in.
